7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already operating; only there is one who holds back just now, until he is taken out of the way.
8 Then the lawless one will be revealed. The Lord Yeshua will slay him with the breath of His mouth and wipe him out with the appearance of His coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is connected to the activity of satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,
10 and with every kind of wicked deception toward those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved.
11 For this reason God sends them a delusional force, to lead them to believe what is false,
12 so that they may be judged—all those who did not believe the truth but delighted in wickedness.
13 But we should always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits for salvation through sanctification by the Ruach and belief in the truth.
